It ain't like he was a loquacious gent before all this.

 

[Ceremony]

They probably tested his memory of the speech they wrote for him.

“Sorry Val, not good enough yet. Practice your speech in the mirror a few more times.”

We deserve stage 4 if we're telling him to do his lines in the mirror

 

[UncleRisto]

It ain't like he was a loquacious gent before all this.

And we wouldn't know if he was or not, anyway.

Just kidding, I know what it... is.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I get what you guys are saying about him not saying much, because he won’t, but it’s bigger than that. I don’t want to say much beyond that.

Well, jokes aside, when teams promise media availability and don't deliver, I don't like it. They need to do a better job of tamping down the drama around this player instead of blithely tap dancing around it like they have been the past two years.

Well that's concerning. Are there still legal issues?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

No. Just saying he’s an adult, he should be able to do this stuff.

“We did you a solid and made sure you weren’t caught until you had a drunken coked up hooker running around a lobby. You better play ball and keep your mouth shut, no embarrassing Russian interviews like you did a few months ago.”

 

[sethro109]

No. Just saying he’s an adult, he should be able to do this stuff.

 

[LOFIN]

Sounds to me he he's like Panarin and Shestyorkin with the Rangers, and intentionally being coy with his English because he doesn't care to speak with the media.

 

[Pokecheque]

No. Just saying he’s an adult, he should be able to do this stuff.

Honestly I think they're afraid of what he's going to say. He remains steadfastly unapologetic about everything.

 

[nightonthesun]

I think what you guys really want is for him to channel Dr Rockzo in a pregame. I won’t judge you for dreaming big.
